Gus is dressed in his go-to-town clothes, complete with garish necktie, boots and a new straw Stetson. He is busy taking oil cans, signs, etc., into the office as - 17 JULIA'S CAR pulls up to the gas tanks. Julia and Marie get out of the car and stretch. Julia leaves the door open. MARIE OophI...It's good to stretch! JULIA (looks in back) They're sleeping like angels. MARIE That?╟╓s the only time they are. I'll get some soda pop and save them for when they wake up. She starts away as Gus comes toward them. GUS Sorry - too late, I'm closed At this hour? MARIE GUS Yep. Close early Fridays. Can't we have JULIA some gas? Too late. GUS How far's the MARIE next station? GUS Which direction you going? MARIE The direction our car's headed. Cont. E-3^3
